Wow! We could finally claim that we are _real_ computer
archeologists... The kind that use a shovel and pick!
If we look hard enough, we might even find an SGI
Jurrasic Classic, or a Predator rack!
Sounds fun!

Subject: RE: Is it a Lisa or Mac XL?!
I'll add that the Lisa 2 is actually an
upgraded Lisa 1.
When Apple's
Twiggy drives proved troublesome, Apple
apparently offered
an upgrade to
anyone with a Lisa to replace the Twiggy's
with a Sony 3.5"
drive. So you
got a new drive assembly and front panel, and
returned the
old ones.
Most people took advantage of this upgrade, which
is why
it's so hard to
find an original Lisa these days.
It's time for a group of us to find the Utah landfill
where they dumped the Lisa inventory 15 years ago...
Since you can find undecayed hotdogs from the 1960s
in a landfill, I'm thinking the Lisas should be well
preserved...
